That is an intriguing quotation, LH.
Each quotation on the QI website is reachable by a direct link as you
discovered.

In addition, each quotation is listed within one or more categories.
The "simpler" quotation is listed within the Einstein category, but
there are six pages of quotations in the Einstein category. The bottom
of each webpage for a category displays an arrow to click to reach the
next page.

The "simpler" Einstein quotation appears as the tenth quotation on the
fifth page of the Einstein category:

This is somewhat clumsy, but the WordPress software automatically
splits up some lengthy webpages.
